Genetics for Farmers: Understanding Traits and Inheritance

This engaging video series introduces farmers, agricultural students, and educators to the fundamentals of genetics and inheritance in farming. Designed with real-world applications in mind, the course explores how traits are passed from one generation to the next, and how understanding genetic probability can improve breeding decisions and crop selection.
Through clear explanations, visual examples, and Caribbean-accented narration, learners will discover key concepts such as genes, alleles, dominant and recessive traits, Punnett squares, and inherited characteristics. Each lesson builds on the last, helping viewers apply genetic principles to everyday farming practices — from selecting livestock with desirable traits to cultivating resilient crops.
